WHILE BURMA STRUGGLES
Than Shwe and his merry band of thugs have taken full advantage of the
chaos the cyclone has left his nation. With humanitarian aid filling
the warehouses of his regime he will profit from black market sales of
these goods, there is no question. His policy of distributing rancid
food stuffs to villages, if at all, is common place. Why should he
reward those who oppose him? So the great deception continues as
millions continue to suffer. Now he wants 11 million dollars cash in
aid. Guess he can’t wait for the revenue from his black market sales of
all the goods Burma is receiving at this time.
In the smoke screen of this national tragedy he has found it most
advantageous to arrest 12 more NLD members in an early morning raid in
the Sanchaung Township. Their fate will most likely be year’s
imprisonment as per the fate of most political prisoners. Did you know
that military guards were shooting prisoners during the cyclone? It was
easier to kill them rather than find shelter and safety for the
inmates. He also ordered 8 journalists from The Voice Journal, Yangon
Times and 7 Days News Journal arrested. Only after they agreed not to
return to the stricken region were they set free and ordered to write
only positive news stories.
To the joy of his military regime the cyclone has left many children
orphans and the perfect candidates for military service. It has always
been common practice for Ole Than Shwe to “recruit” children and there
is no doubt these orphans will fill the ranks of his army.
With human carnage clogging water ways, streets and villages throughout
the stricken region, only now they are being removed three weeks after
the disaster. The epic struggle of 2.5 million survivors has only
begun. They faced insurmountable odds to survive the tyranny of Than
Shwe before the cyclone hit. Now there is an air of total hopelessness
as they ponder a fate with absolutely nothing. When will the world have
enough of this holocaust in motion?
